Written by Sandy Williams
Nucor Steel Hickman’s new specialty cold rolling mill complex will get equipment from the international technology group ANDRITZ. The expansion at the Arkansas mill was announced in September and is expected to cost an estimated $230 million. The mill will produce specialty grade steels including third generation advanced high strength steel, high-strength low-alloy steels and high-efficiency electrical steel. The expansion will increase production by 650,000 tons per year. Nucor anticipates completion of the project and start-up of production during the second half of 2018.
